Meet Gillian

  • Comfortable with pets

Hi there, Pleasure to meet you! I'm a recent(ish) transplant from my native London, UK. I am passionate about kids and exploration through play! I am a fully fledged Brooklyn-ite and love the family atmosphere in my neighborhood. I'm reliable, hard working and open, and have a lot of experience. I currently teach theater to children under 14, helping them to express themselves through play, and I feel passionately about this. I'm also from an academic background, and graduated with a first class honors degree from the prestigious Royal Welsh College in Cardiff and feel comfortable offering academic support. I hope I can be a help to families that need a little extra help, and I have the utmost respect for the busy parents of NYC who are making it work! Furthermore, my younger brother has autism and I have been his carer for many years. I cope well with Read more children who are differently abled and am happy to take the time to listen to specific needs.
